Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Two damaged capsules. Bin-soiled labels. Levels: nine base of neck, three top-shoulder
Tasting note: In the mid to late 1990s, impressive, fragrant, very tannic. In 2003: opaque, intense; a wine of vast dimensions. Two very recent notes: still immature; crisp fruit, taut, bricky; full-bodied, slightly raw but spicy, rich, chewy. Good length, hard tannins. Nowhere near ready. Last tasted Nov 2005. Hopefully *(****) 2010-? M.B.
